The model with a 55-inch diagonal represents the middle price segment and is very close to the manufacturer's top-end TVs. For example, in terms of appearance, it is generally identical with one of the brand leaders — Sony KD-55XF9005: it received L-shaped legs, a thin frame around the display, a neat back surface with a good set of interfaces: 4 HDMI, 3 USB, LAN, composite and optical output, mini-Jack.

Clear and rich picture

The Sony KD-55XF8596 10-bit matrix supports UltraHD resolution. The picture looks bright and juicy, especially if it is high-quality HDR content. Colour accuracy is average by default, but can be improved with settings.

Due to the lack of local dimming, the image lacks contrast, which is easy to feel when watching video in the dark. At the same time, when changing viewing angles, the picture retains its brightness and colour saturation.

Smooth footage

The matrix in the Sony KD-55XF8596 supports a frame rate of 120 Hz. As a result, in sports broadcasts, games and various dynamic scenes, the picture changes smoothly, without jerking, flickering or other artifacts. Additionally, the proprietary Motionflow XR technology improves motion reproduction. It involves the insertion of additional frames and programmatically accelerates the video sequence up to 1000 frames / sec.

Wide multimedia possibilities

Fans of television programs will appreciate the built-in digital TV tuners that support various signal formats. Additional entertainment options are offered by the Android 7.0 operating system with a rich selection of applications and services from Google Play. The platform’s shortcomings include a slightly overloaded platform interface, but a convenient multimedia remote and Google Assistant voice assistant will help you get used to it.

The disadvantage of the model is a low-power audio system. Acoustics format 2.0 at 20 W can usually boast even FullHD-TVs of the initial and middle segment. Otherwise, the Sony KD-55XF8596 will definitely suit sports fans, as well as all those who often watch videos with friends.
